'Dancing with the stars' has everyone rooted to the screens as they watch their favorite contestant dance. However, fans of Skai Jackson and AJ McLean have been disappointed after finding out Kaitlyn Bristowe scored more than them in the latest episode (October 12), they have been disappointed. 

Skai Jackson came to the show with her partner Alan Bersten. With the theme being the '80s, the pair decided to perform a Jazz. Last episode she had pleased the judges with her performance as she scored the season's first 10s. However, this performance did not have the judges impressed. 

All of them thought she had to work on her moves more and make sure they were perfected. With this, all of them gave her an 8 and she got a score of 24. Meanwhile, AJ McLean and his partner Cheryl Burke decided to perform Waltz. This was not the first time he was going to perform this dance form. 

Judges had been impressed with him in the past and even though they liked the performance, they thought there were some things that the performance missing. The judges asked AJ McLean to work on some of his moves while giving him a score of all 8s. This got his total score to 24 out of 30.  

Fans were left disappointed with the score. They thought the judges were being harsh with their scores for certain contestants and were openly giving more to others. One of the names that came into the picture was Kaitlyn. Some were sure she would go into the finale because she had been getting good scores despite having some performances that were not too great.

Many took to social media to express their disappointment. "Lmao Kaitlyn didn't deserve all 9's Skai robbed," wrote one user. "AJ and Skai were both better than Kaitlyn and yet she got all 9's and they got all 8's. Why do I love this show again?" said another.



 



 

"Ugh, Kaitlyn from the #Bachelor will be in the #DWTS finals. #DWTS is rigged so contestants with a Disney ABC connection always make it to the finals. Go Skai," read another. "So Kaitlyn was better than Skai? She literally had 3 seconds worth of the actual tango. If Skai did that she would have been given 5's," read another comment.
